This is a common pattern:
class PostsNew
def get
@post = Post.new # new, empty Post-object
render :new
end
end
class PostsNEdit
def get(id)
@post = Post.find(id)
render :edit
end
end
module App::Views
def edit
form :action => R(PostsNEdit), :method => :post do
_post_fields
end
end
def new
form :action => R(Posts), :method => :post do
_post_fields
end
end
def _form
input :name => :title, :value => @post.title
end
end
